The goblet cell markers CK-7 (A, green) and UEA-1 (B, green) were co-labeled with PCNA (red) in primary cultures of rat conjunctival cells independent of harvesting site. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Both CK-7+ (A, arrows) and UEA-1+ (B, arrow) goblet cells co-expressed PCNA after eight days in culture, indicating cell proliferative activity. Magnification, ×630. Scale bars: 100 µm. Mean ± SEM (n = 6) co-expression of PCNA with CK-7 and UEA-1, respectively, was compared (C). *P < 0.01.
